The population is growing and with it the demand for raw materials, but the supply of crucial raw materials is limited. In addition, extracting and using raw materials has a major impact on the environment. It also increases energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Circular economy as a major focus for Clean Tech sector is a critical pathway to mitigate many of above-mentioned challenges. Lambton College has six established research centres focused on collaborative research in bio, material, information technology, manufacturing, energy, and water. In addition, the College has strong research groups supporting social science and health, natural health products and food and beverage. Through these established centres and groups, Lambton has created a strong research portfolio that supports collaborative research focused on the Circular Economy. Lambton through the Mobilize grant will form the Lambton Circular Economy Innovation Platform (LCEIP) that will provide essential means to enhance the existing research centres and groups by increasing access to resources and capacity to address applied research priorities in industry, health, and not-for-profit community-based organizations focused on the Circular Economy. In addition, through the LCEIP Lambton will develop new areas of research that will including battery manufacturing and recycling and food waste recycling. Furthermore, the grant will allow for the expansion of existing partnerships and development of new relationships with colleges, universities, innovation parks and other government agencies to initiate more partnerships with industry and not-for-profits and offer more comprehensive innovation services. It is expected that LCEIP will develop 250 applied research projects over 5 years and 125 longer projects, attracting $500K/year partnership support and $3M in infrastructure grants. In addition, the LCEIP will be critical for providing 155 research student experiential education opportunities for a diverse pool of students from technology, IT, health and business programs for a growing circular economy focused industries. The LCEIP will become a key program to provide long-term applied research initiatives focused on Circular Economy which is the priority of the college's partners in natural sciences, engineering, social sciences, humanities, and health sciences.

人口正在增长，随之而来的是原材料的需求，但是关键原材料的供应有限。此外，提取和使用原材料对环境有重大影响。它还增加了能源消耗和二氧化碳排放。循环经济是清洁技术领域的主要重点，是缓解许多上述挑战的关键途径。兰布顿学院（Lambton College）拥有六个成立的研究中心，专注于生物，材料，信息技术，制造，能源和水的合作研究。此外，该学院拥有强大的研究小组，支持社会科学和健康，天然健康产品以及食品和饮料。通过这些既定的中心和团体，兰伯顿创建了一个强大的研究组合，支持着针对循环经济的合作研究。通过动员赠款的兰姆顿将形成兰姆顿循环经济创新平台（LCEIP），该平台将通过提高获得资源和能力来解决行业，健康，非营利性社区组织的精力来增强现有研究中心和群体的重要手段，并以循环经济为基础。此外，通过LCEIP Lambton将开发新的研究领域，其中包括电池制造和回收以及食物浪费回收。此外，该赠款将允许扩大现有合作伙伴关系，并与大学，大学，创新公园和其他政府机构建立新的关系，以与行业和非营利组织建立更多的伙伴关系，并提供更全面的创新服务。预计LCEIP将在5年内开发250个应用研究项目和125个更长的项目，吸引50万美元/年的合作伙伴支持和300万美元的基础设施赠款。此外，LCEIP对于为来自技术，IT，IT，健康和商业计划的各种学生提供了155个研究学生的体验教育机会至关重要，为不断增长的循环经济为以循环经济的影响。 LCEIP将成为一项关键计划，以提供针对循环经济的长期应用研究计划，这是该学院在自然科学，工程，社会科学，人文科学和健康科学方面的优先事项。
